Photographic lobby card for the film 'Chhailla Babu'

Photographic lobby card for the Hindi film 'Chhailla Babu' (Cool Guy), released in the year 1977.

The card presents an interesting combination of illustrations, photographs and text. On the top half of the card, a photograph is printed in an oblique angle inside a white plain line and white dotted line border. The photograph shows a frame from the point where the character Rita (Zeenat Aman) is seducing Chhailla Babu (Rajesh Khanna) so as to get his finger prints with the final aim of proving that he is the main villain Scorpion. Towards the left of the frame, Rita is dressed like Queen Cleopatra. Chhailla Babu is towards the right of the frame, dressed in a long robe, kurta, harem pants and a cap on his head. Both his hands are tied separately with chains.

On the bottom half towards the left, a photographic cut out of Chhailla Babu as the tangewala is printed. An illustration of Rita, dressed in blouse and skirt and floral stickers all over the body is overlapping with Chhailla Babu's photograph. Towards the right, the name of the film is printed in Devanagari script inside a set of concentric circles. Next to this is another bigger set of concentric circles, inside which the credits are printed as follows. From the top, first comes 'S. MUKERJI', next line; 'PRESENTS', next line; 'Chhailla', next line; 'Babu', next line; 'in EASTMANCOLOR'. On the extreme bottom towards the left, first comes 'STORY, SCREEN PLAY & PRODUCED BY SHOMU MUKERJI', next line; 'DIRECTED BY JOY MUKERJI MUSIC LAXMIKANT PYARELAL'.
